This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the dry matter content and water content of soil samples on a mass basis. This method can be applied to all types of soil samples. Different procedures are specified for air-dried soil samples, for example samples pretreated according to ISO 11464, and for field-moist soil samples. For the determination of soil water content on a volume basis, refer to ISO 11461.
